A community of like-minded people.

The Scale-Up Masterclass is a collaboration between Vlerick Business School and Start-up Survival.

In 2014, Entrepreneurship 2.0 was set up at Vlerick to create a community of scale-up entrepreneurs and to help them with the key challenges they face in their path to rapid growth.

In 2018, Vlerick joined forces with Start-Up Survival, which has extensive expertise in delivering online learning journeys to start-up entrepreneurs. The collaboration has created a powerful new online programme to help companies to make the most out of their scale-up potential.

What others say about our Masterclasses

Frederik De Witte

Founder of Fleetmaster

"The Scale-up Masterclass provided me with several hands-on insights that are of immediate use in our fast scaling company. Especially the concept of online modules (in combination with an app for downloads), and lesson material provided by people that faced similar challenges in the trenches as well makes it much more approachable than an old fashioned class setup."

Jeroen Geldhof

Board member at Equicty

"Learning online is really nice, you can do it at your own pace, at your own time. And the human interaction when a bunch of founders get together, makes a difference too. So, I really like the combination of both."

Sebastian Rummens

Founder of Forganiser

"Each lesson provided insights into the techniques and methods of experts in their field. Not only professors, but the best experienced experts of scale-ups with world fame, that can count in terms of motivation."

Jochen Callens

Co-founder of Jobtoolz

“The Scale-up Masterclass gave me concrete and practically applicable insights to accelerate Jobtoolz's growth. The topics are very relevant and are given by top international experts from renowned companies, which results in a very high level of education. Highly recommended!”

CEO at Dobco Medical Systems

"I thought it was a good course, to-the-point, given by people with a lot of practical experience."
